Abstract

In this paper, bone remodeling systems are studied by using rabbit tibia as an experimental specimen. The rabbit tibia is drilled and subjected to a cyclic compression load. The remodeling phenomena at the part of the circular hole defect of the tibia are evaluated by X-ray photographs and histologic examination. The results are compared with he numerical strain distributions which are analized by using the three-dimensional finite-element method. From these considerations, one possible healing process of bone defects is proposed.
